Dear friends,
There's
no easy way to put this, so please accept our apologies for the
seemingly abrupt nature of this post. We are saddened to announce that
after sixteen years as The Lucksmiths, the band has decided to break up.
The last few years have been an uphill battle in many ways, so this
isn't a hasty decision based on any falling-out between band members,
but rather, an acceptance of the inevitable. This decision was finally
reached a few months back, so we've had plenty of time to let it sink
in.
We had tried to operate the band in a way that would suit all of us,
but at the same time we've been very conscious that too much compromise
would in the end affect our creative output. We're very proud of the
music we make, and we certainly didn't want it to start stinking. So,
in taking our cues from Devo, we've decided to whip the proverbial
cream before it sits out too long.
We're really excited about our upcoming European tour, and have booked
some Australian dates for our "farewell tour" in August. The details
for these shows are in our gig guide.
We really hope to see as many people at these shows as possible, as we
will be playing super long sets, cramming in as many old favourites as
possible.
We must apologise for not making it back to the USA, Canada, Japan, New
Zealand or Singapore, or to the other amazing European countries we've
previously visited — and for never having made it to the other fifty or
so countries we'd hoped to tour one day.
We really want to thank you all, especially the wonderful people who've
helped us out in any way, and anyone who's listened to our music or
come to a show. We've loved having you in our world and we will miss
you dearly.
